Wasserturm Speyer, Water tower in Speyer, Germany
The 36-meter water tower features a twelve-sided base, dark red brick construction, and three rows of narrow windows painted in bright turquoise-blue.
The tower, constructed in 1883 under engineer Adolf Friedrich Lindemann's initiative, established the first modern drinking water network with 20 kilometers of pipes.
The water tower stands as a German cultural heritage monument, demonstrating the advancement of urban water management systems during the industrial revolution period.
Located in west Speyer's residential district, the tower continues to supply drinking water while serving as a central point for the surrounding settlement.
The structure incorporates a suspended bottom tank system, marking it as an early example of this engineering approach in German water tower construction.
